When I started out in localization industry in 2002, I remember hearing:
“The Traditional Chinese translation market will be replaced by Simplified Chinese in ten years.”
This week at BP25, the keynote revisited a claim made at the same conference back in 2017:
“There will be no translators in 2025.”
Maybe both predictions captured some truth about a shrinking market and a shifting industry. And yet, here we are in 2025, I’m still translating into Traditional Chinese, still loving this job.
This is really happening! I'm heading to #BP25 next week!
It will be my very first in-person BP Conference, and I’m looking forward to connecting and learning in real life for a change.✨
See you in Kraków!
After 20+ years of translation, I'm still learning how to tell my story —
clearly, simply, and in my own voice.
"Every message deserves to be understood."
That’s not just a line on my LinkedIn. It’s how I work.
🌐 I help tech, healthcare, and life science brands communicate meaningfully with the Traditional Chinese-speaking world.
Come say hi, or just take a look around.
This space is where I grow — in language, in work, and in life.
